If yesterday's students' challenge to AI was a small test, then today's professional team's challenge to artificial intelligence is a real competition. There are no high-profile professional teams in the remaining four projects, and three teams have already appeared in DOTA2:

Evil Genius, a North American e-sports giant, is led by the genius twins Sumail and Arteezy. The original OG fourth position Cr1t joins as the fifth position, the never-missing universe brother Universe and the spiritual fourth position Zai.

Spring and Autumn Overlord OG, the original DOTA2 card brother Miracle and Cr1t left, jerax and ana quickly joined, and the famous good brothers who have a deep love for each other - Big Daddy Notail and the fitness fanatic Fly.

PS, the new champion, is joined by Sean's twin stars The One and AME, team brain Yang, position 4 god Fy, and rookie assistant xNvoa.

These three teams are not just third- and fourth-tier clubs waiting to die. Any one of them can be considered a first-tier or even a super first-tier team. For teams of this level to come to AI to compete with each other, it only shows that they are serious.

.

I won’t go into details about EG and OG. They are established clubs in the world with fans all over the world. However, our PS itself is a newly established club. Even the predecessor VGJ.T is just the second team of VG.

"Little known" is the perfect way to describe it.

However, our participation in the AI ​​Challenge caused quite a stir in China, and was forwarded and reported by various e-sports bloggers on Weibo. It attracted many netizens, most of whom did not even know the game DOTA2.

"In the AI ​​Challenge, three professional teams represent Asia, Europe, and America in disguise. This game will also compare the intelligence levels of the three continents from the artificial intelligence level... Hehe, you actually became the Asian representative team? And this

, the game data input by AI determines their upper limit, so it’s nothing.”

In the video, Cheng Qing kept complaining about all kinds of nonsensical news on the Internet, and some even started to speculate on the race of AI.

I couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't worry about the news about mentally retarded people. Now we are already riding a tiger. Whether we can win sponsorship depends on how powerful this AI is."

"Speaking of which, you guys have made enough noise. Originally, I didn't have any expectations for the Seahawks to name the team, but you actually met Paul Allen. Oh my God. You have to rush, Xiao Se!"

"Try your best. I'm talking to you this time because I need your help with something."

"You can say whatever you want, as long as it can be done with money, I will never refuse."

"Help me hire some sailors..."

The purpose of hiring the navy army is for no other reason than to serve as our team’s substitute DDZ.

DDZ is a player who was officially banned by Valve. After this news was revealed on the Internet, many righteous people jumped out and criticized PS for not accepting "fake greyhound racing". The words he used were so ugly that he deserved the title of "Keyboard Warrior". DDZ

Whether it’s a fake match or not, this time he is willing to come out to help me. Naturally, he is also aware of the consequences of being exposed to the public eye, but he still comes. Xiang Bi is also under countless pressures. I think it is necessary to do some means to eliminate it.

Public opinion, and this kind of matter can only be left to Cheng Qing who is still in the country.

No one is afraid to assume the worst ill will towards others. Maybe after this game, if our team makes a mistake in any game, we will be accused of being a match-fixer.

But we don't care at all. The Seahawks sponsorship is much more tempting than the keyboard warrior's praise.

Another purpose of this is to use Internet public opinion to delay the game, allowing EG and OG to fight first while we wait for the version update.

Based on the code picked up by talented people on the Internet, I boldly predict that this update will be the "Struggle Out of the World", that innovative version of the universal A-staff with the emergence of neutral equipment and sentry towers.

Although I am a little surprised that this version was updated in 2017, since it is here, we must make good use of it. This version is the key to our victory over AI.

…

Today is Monday. According to the negotiation between the teams, we, who were originally the first to play, were postponed to the last one, which is Wednesday afternoon, due to "various reasons." And the first one to play is EG. This time they are all here.

The game was about to start. Bai Yu was still sitting in her seat, flipping through the slightly worn book in her hand. I asked her, "Aren't you going to come with me?"

She looked up at me, shook her head and said, "You go ahead, I have something to do."

"Well..." I didn't force it, I just packed up and went with the team to watch the EG game.

"Um...can you finish the game today?"

Only then did I remember that I had not told her about the postponement of the game: "Our game has been scheduled to Wednesday. I deliberately arranged the game later to be more sure."

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then his eyes dimmed: "Oh, oh..."

"What's wrong? Do you have anything urgent to do?"

She waved her hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay. You can go watch the game. Don't be late."

AME saw me walking out of the hall alone and asked, "Where is she?"

I said truthfully: "She said she didn't want to go because she had something to do. Let's go."

He glanced at me silently: "Bu Zhi asked me to tell you something. If you bully Bai Yu, you will be dead."

"With all my conscience, if I specially accompanied her to Seattle just to bully her, then I would be too perverted, right?"

"You didn't bully her, but now you are even more aggressive than bullying her." As a half-married (engaged) person, Fy said this out of nowhere.

I was puzzled: "What's wrong with me?"

He looked at me deeply, shook his head, and sighed: "Hey, you straight man deserves to be single."

…

University of Washington, Stadium, first game of AI Challenge, EG VS AI2.

Half of the auditorium was occupied by students. Although they may not all play D2, they all share the same enthusiasm for fun. The other half was divided between the media, leaders and EG fans from all over the place. The scene was noisy, with some

It created a hint of offline competition atmosphere.

Five members of EG appeared, Arteezy, Sumail, and U. This lineup can be said to be quite good from technology to appearance. The "E-Sports Male Model Team" really lived up to its reputation. As soon as it appeared, it caused the whole audience to scream. Here is the student camp.

The sound is particularly loud.

Looking at the five confident EG players on the stage, Fy, who has always had a calm personality, asked me: "After watching a few AI games, do you think this EG can win?"

"I don't know, I can only take a gamble." I clenched my fists, everything was difficult at the beginning, and success or failure depended on it.

At the beginning of the game, because the AI ​​knew only a few heroes, there was no BP mode, just Pick. And because the opponent was a full-professional team, many additional conditions were added: no runes, no altars, no scans, and no saints.

Sword, no great sage.

Radiant EG: Sumail, Arteezy, Universe, Zai, Cr1t.

Dire AI2: Death Prophet, Musket, Tide, Ice Girl, Lich.

Entering the game, Sumail said playfully: "Our winning rate is as high as 99999%."
